The total combined volume of a glass, a jar, and a pitcher is 54 liters. If the jar has the same volume as 3 glasses and the pitcher has the same volume as 5 glasses, what is the volume of the glass?

6 liters.

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have a glass, a jar, and a pitcher and together, they hold 54 liters.

We are told that the jar has the same volume as 3 glasses and the pitcher has the same volume as 5 glasses. In other words, let g denote glasses, j denote jars, and p denote pitchers:

Since  jar is the same as 3 glasses, this means that j=3g. And since the pitcher is the same as 5 glasses, this means that p=5g. Substitute:

Combine like terms:

Divide both sides by 9. The left cancels:

Therefore, the volume of the glass is 6 liters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the volume of the glass be x.

Let the volume of the jar be y.

Let the volume of the pitcher be z.

Substitution method.

Combining like terms.

Dividing both sides by 9.

The volume of the glass is 6 liters.
